Does mortscript need to be installed to run this plugin?

I know i'm late to the WinMO 6.5 party, but I would like some help getting Taskanium working...

It will show up in cHome editor, but won't show up in titanium.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benven:
Ok, this was bugging me. So, I hard reset my Apache, which is really a test device. I installed Taskanium without any theme installed. Works very well. I added 3 tasks and there were all there. I was going to install the Bliss theme, but I though I should sync up with my exchanger server first. So i did. Well, as soon as I finished syncing, I get the same thing happening ie, not tasks showing up and the panel pulling in the right softkey from the previous panel I was on. I can only conclude that this is not a theme issue. Are we back to the number of tasks perhaps?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
This plugin uses ATInstaller which means that other plugins are left untouched and shouldn't rearrange/disable any other plugin installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
honestly, this is bugging me too. Did you try the latest build (0.3b); in this build I have set the max number of tasks to show at 15 (after that it will start showing: "{n} more...". If you can try this build, it will help in figuring out if it's a "too many pages in plugin" issue.

In fact, I am so bugged with your issue that I am going to create 118 tasks on my system to test when I get a chance :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oelapoel:
Sn123,

How do I set the tasks to open a 3rd party app (thumbcal) instead of POutlook? I have already set it up from thumbcal's settings as default task manager, but doesnt seem to work.

btw, thanks for this usefull plugin
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benven:
Success! Latest build, 0.3b, works. It shows the 15 tasks and then says I have another 101. Great job. It looks like it's a too many pages/tasks issue. I'll clean up my tasks today before I leave. Been lazy this last week:D

FYI, this panel does work in the Bliss theme. I didn't have to re-install Bliss for the latest build to show up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
yay, finally! I'll update the information abt the bliss theme in the first post. Thanks again for being a very patient beta tester :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
hi joseph,

Currently the plugin doesn't support 3rd party applications (I use Pocket Outlook APIs to display the task dialog). Adding 3rd party support means (a) I have to move away from Pocket Outlook APIs (b) Figure out which all 3rd party apps are popular (c) Figure out their set of APIs/command arguments to do what Pocket Outlook does OOTB. (d) During installation figure which PIM application the user is using.

I can take a look at it in future version if enough people want this functionality (nothing promised but I can give it a shot).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
Hey i converted this to VGA, and everything seems to work fine but one thing. I dont think its from my converting tho i could be wrong lol.

No matter what task i add it always puts teh date to 01 Jan 4501? any ideas? lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
The plugin displays the "Due Date" of a task and in case you don't enter the due date for the new task, it would show as "01 Jan 4501" (which I guess is the default null date) :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mlin:
Hey Sn123, thanks for the app. I know a lot of people have been wanting this including me. Do you mind if I post a link to this thread over at PPCGeeks?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
sure!

<filler text to cross the 10 char limit>
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phaze13:
Thanks for the app. Problem I have is the panel does not show up on the home page. It shows up in CHome editor.

Have not tried 3b yet, will try that
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
ahh yep ur exactly right :), thx adding this to my rom :D. Great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaPP187:
Just installed on my Polaris and it works like a charm, great work!

Perhaps a little request for the next version...

Would it be possible to change the Icon whether the task is complete or not?

Example:

task 1 is NOT done -> it will show the normal task icon but WITHOUT the "ok sign"

press on "complete" -> the icon changes into the version WITH the "ok sign"

That would be really cool!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mioqiu:
could u make a wvga one for the touch hd plz.thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
mioqiu,

does the current installation not work on your HD? I though I defined layouts for all the resolutions (including WVGA) but I maybe wrong :). Also, since I don't have a WVGA device, can somebody please help me in defining the layouts if the current one is broken?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
Makes sense, I'll add it to my TODO list. Thanks! I was also thinking of changing the icon based on whether the task is due/overdue and/or of high importance etc. Since, I am not a graphic designer if somebody can help and provide me icons for all these statuses it will make my job a lot easier :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.jaguar:
I've got a raph, and I installed this, soft reset it, and no panel displayed. the panel is shown in chome editor.

ok, everyone keeps talking about .3b, am I blind or did I take my stupid pills instead of my vitamins?

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
not sure about the resolution of your device, it might just be a resolution issue. What's the resolution of your device (VGA, WVGA, QVGA)?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guap:
same issue. Wvga. panel shown in chome editor but not on titanium. Many others installed and working (people, weather...)

this is probably the most useful for me :D but doesn't work :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
bc there is no cpr data for ur resolution. only qvga, you would need to port it urself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
I must have been smoking something when I did the 0.3b build; I had defined the layouts in the default.plg for almost all resolutions (based on appstar's default.plg) in 0.2 build but overwrote the file in 0.3b with the QVGA version of the plg file! So, now the plugin is back to just being a QVGA only :(. I will update the first post back to say that it only supports QVGA for now, until someone can help me & define the plg for all resolutions (or has the plg file from 0.2 RC build) or I get some time to define it again :(.

Also, I am no expert with cab files would somebody be interested enough in making cab for me for this?

Thanks in advance for all the help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Asherizm:
Great plugin. I've got two issues. When not using the bliss theme, the font for the condensed page is smaller than the other listings for text, email, fav people, etc.

I can't get this to work with the bliss theme. I installed it before bliss. It worked. Then it disapeared after installing bliss. It does appear in chome editor though.

Custom rom built with Build OS
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.jaguar:
the raphael is VGA
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.jaguar:
well, crap. that sucks, I was all excited when I saw this. any idea when VGA will be supported?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
1) unfortunately, different cooked ROMS use different font size for instance on my Asus with andrewsh's ROM, the favorite people plugin has bigger font than other plugins in condensed mode :). You should be easily able to change the default font size in default.plg for the collapsed page (I *think* I am using font-size of 14, you can try upping it to 16). If you change the font-size in the plg file, you'll have to reinstall the plugin again for the changes to take effect (unless you don't mind modifying the cpr file directly).

2) The bliss theme overwrites the cpr file once you install it and hence any plugins which are not supported by bliss are removed, so the correct sequence would be to first install the bliss theme and then install this plugin.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
Since a lot of people have been asking for VGA/WVGA version, I'll get one done ASAP :). Thanks for your patience!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jug6ernaut:
VGA cpr data...just rename plg to default.plg and it should work...but it only has vga data.

edit nm, was working b4 but now its not...i seem to have changed something since it was :\
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.jaguar:
any clue when the vga port will be available?

edit: sorry, I missed your post earlier saying you were working on the vga version. this will probably save my life and keep my wife sane.. me being able to see my tasklist easily.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] guap:
thank YOU for your efforts :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Asherizm:
sorry i'm a newb. do you use a text editor to change the plg file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
plg file is a xml format file, so you can try using any of xml editors (like xml notepad/visual studio etc.) or you can just use a simple text editor too as long as you don't scr*w up the xml format. The best way to check after editing is to rename the file as default.xml and try opening it in IE it it loads fine then it means that the xml editions were fine and you can rename the file back to .plg else IE will tell you where exactly you have the error in xml.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
I have attached the plg file for all resolutions to the first post. If you are on some other resolution than QVGA, extract the default.plg file from default.plg.zip and replace the plg within taskanium.zip with this one before installing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Asherizm:
thanks for the reply but it didn't work. You had it already set to 16 so I changed it to 18, uninstalled, then reinstalled and it looks the same. Any other thoughts?

It's pretty minor but I'd like it to look good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mr.jaguar:
Awesome! this has got to be one of the most useful things I have installed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
You need to change the font size within the "TaskaniumCollapsed" for all the resolutions (or at least for your device resolution), and then need to reinstall the plugin (the plg file is only used during install).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwill:
thanks for giving a go for us vga users and great plugin. just tested the latest version and tasks marks complete fine, but no number ever shows up as not completed. i think i saw that may be a concern though. as well if u delete the tasks it stays visible and when u try an tap on it u get an unexpected error with taskproxy saying this is an invalid id, parameter name:id. i imagine its because technically the task is supposed to be gone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
<quote>...but no number ever shows up as not completed</quote>

I didn't understand this, can you elaborate please? Are you saying that in VGA the task counter doesn't show up in condensed mode? If yes, then it doesn't show up because this feature is done for QVGA only :)

I tried the task deletion issue but wasn't able to repro it...my guess is that it is due to task sync time tag: it generally takes around 1-2 seconds for the plugin to sync with outlook tasks (depending on the number of active tasks that you have) & in case you try to access a deleted task before the plugin gets a chance to sync then it will throw a "Invalid taskId exception". If that's not the case, can you please tell me the repro steps so that I can troubleshoot further?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Asherizm:
I got it working. Thanks man
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p-slim:
I'm a little stuck. I have a sprint touch pro. i have the whole taskanium folder placed in my device>program files>taskanium. When i open up the taskanium folder i see all of the files. When i click on the installer i don't get any message, then i soft reset. When i soft reset there is no panel on my today screen at all. When i check the registry it shows it is there right after my opera panel but on the today screen there isn't any actual panel, any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p-slim:
*bump* anything???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
This is exactly what I've been looking for but need to know if it will work with my Sprint Diamond - VGA.

Thanks for the great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p-slim:
this will work on the diamond. The diamond has a vga screen. I'm having problems getting my panel to display, maybe if you get it working then you can assist me :D When i check my titanium panel organizer it is there, but the panel will not show up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p-slim:
finally got it working, thanks for creating this program. I would definitely recommend updating the first post to say "if using a vga device copy the attached plg file into the unzipped folder and overwrite the plg file in there already" or something like that. Once again thanks for this program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
I also have it working now. Thank you.

I do see a few problems. I deleted a recurring task and it is still there. When I open Tasks, it has the updated date but it has the old date in Taskanium.

Also, I don't understand " If you wish you can modify the default.plg file of 0.4b to include the placement of "Pages" counter in the Condensed mode for your resolution before installing 0.4b."

Can someone explain how to do this?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:

I do see a few problems. I deleted a recurring task and it is still there. When I open Tasks, it has the updated date but it has the old date in Taskanium. This is after a soft reset. (Forget this one ... after a few minutes, it updated correctly)

Also, I don't understand " If you wish you can modify the default.plg file of 0.4b to include the placement of "Pages" counter in the Condensed mode for your resolution before installing 0.4b." (This one is still not clear to me. I'd appreciate any additional explanation - Thanks.)

Can someone explain how to do this? What do I need to change or add?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] magicalan:
Can i have this Wallpaper :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
I maybe smoking something but doesn't the first post say this explicitly enough?

FROM THE FIRST POST:

Edit 5/23: Should support most of the resolutions now. If you are on some other resolution than QVGA, extract the default.plg file from default.plg.zip and replace the plg within taskanium.zip with this one before installing. I haven't been able to test the layout for other resolutions so bug reports are welcome.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
Recurring task and task completion date bugs are actually related (The recurring task issue is mentioned in the list of Known Issues in the first post). I know how to fix these issues but just haven't had a chance/time to do it yet.

Technical information about the bug(s):

1) The app hooks into the "TasksActive" change event of the SNB and this means that any time you add/complete a task; the application is notified of the change and it refreshes the plugin. Now, since completing a recurring task or changing a task name/date does'nt really change the number of active tasks the app doesn't get notified and hence the plugin doesn't get refreshed. Fixing these issues will require hooking into few more SNB events related to tasks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p-slim:
MY BAD, ignorance is bliss. When i first came to the website i read the edit but didn't know what they meant. Then i went straight to the install section and never went back up to the top of the page, sorry and once again thanks for the program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] larbke666:
I can press the Add New Task thing, but tasks aren't added, any idea?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
OK, this makes perfect sense.

I don't know if you're looking for requests but it would be much more valuable to me to see a counter of the number of due and/or past past due tasks instead of active tasks.

I have mostly recurring tasks so the counter would never change for active tasks. If I saw due or past due, it would cause me to take a look and see what I'd missed or had to do.

Anyway, that would be my request.

I really do appreciate this great plugin. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
not sure why that would happen, does the newly added task show up in Tasks?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
Here's what is there on my TODO list (in order of priority) :)

1. Display different icons for overdue/due/active tasks: currently the plugin displays one (rather bland) icon for all. I just need the icons for different states of the task and then this should be easy enough to incorporate.

2. Try out to see if it is possible to change the font-styles of the tasks at runtime: that way, the overdue & due today tasks can be shown a little differently than the future tasks.

3. Fix the recurring task & change of due date bug(s): I did some reading on SNB and the darn thing doesn't expose any "TaskChanged" event! So, it looks like I might have to find out some other way to fix these!

4. Batch notifications that are sent by SNB to improve the performance.

5. Create a cab.

6. Perhaps, change the page counter to display Due+Overdue instead of all active.

7. Support 3rd party applications like Thumbcal.

Hopefully, I'll get enough time over the weekend to incorporate at least 2-3 of above features. In case there is any other feature/bug-fix that you'd love to have in a future build, do chime in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] larbke666:
Yeah, they do show up in tasks... :s
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
These would all be great. This is becoming my favorite plugin. Thanks a lot and I'll look forward to the updates.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hamster0914:
The ability to filter based on categories would be a great function, ie. only display one or multiple categories of tasks at a time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] coolsac32:
does anyone have a .cab for it because it wont let me install it the way that is stated. and plus does anyone know how to cook it in a rom?

+1 for the cab file as the new version doest get installed. I am using TP VGA. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] p-slim:
It does work, you have to read the top of the post where it tells you to change out the default plg zip, then it will work on a vga device. read this post.

I got an install error with .5 on my Sprint Diamond (VGA). I'd uninstalled .4b first and soft reset. The error happened on the install with both the replacement Default.plg and the one in the .5 zip. I've reverted back to .4b.

Any suggestions?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Invisible Sense:
Tried v0.5 and at last its working on my Touch HD!!!

It doesn't display any task counters though :-(

Thanks for this app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
1) Intersting, the task restriction query seems to be correct and definitely works for me:

Are you using the 0.5 or the 0.5beta build (0.5 beta build is no longer available, it had an app crash and I removed it after fixing the issue)?

2) You don't have to reinstall the app again after the crash: just execute the taskanium.exe again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sn123:
If you don't mind a bit of testing and soft-resetting your device apart from making some changes to an xml file, you can perhaps help me in defining the layout of the task counter for HD too!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
OK - I uninstalled/deleted everything and redownloaded .5 and replaced the default.plg. On reinstall I get the same errors. The first try I get the restrict formatting message and on the second and additional tries, I get the System IO error.

I'm not sure what else to try. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BoatS:
OK - I got it. I set my phone date to 6/1 and it installed and showed my tasks but wouldn't show any new tasks if I added them. It seemed to indicate that my problem had to do with the date format.

I went to settings/system/regional and found that I was set to English/Canada (my ROM is Soaa Edge based on Telus). I changed to English/US, uninstalled Taskanium and then the reinstall was successful.

I can now complete a recurring task correctly. The png images don't change to show past due and I don't have the counters (I assume both issues are because I'm VGA). In any case this is a nice update.

Thanks a lot.
